Walnut Jewelry Box

This is a box made from some lumber that my cousin gave me several years ago from a Black Walnut tree he had taken down in his yard. I finally got around to paying him back by making his wife this jewelry box, she was thrilled. BTY, this was all made with hand tools except the band saw to resaw.

I think making something for people from their own trees adds a lot of special value to it. I’m currently drying some cherry that was cut down in my sister-in-law’s yard. Maybe next christmas they will get something nice out of it.
